2017 FORD F-250 Unknown Or Other Problems

The middle sliding glass window just fell off the track while diving. Nothing impacted it. It looks like the track is visually coming disconnected

Back up camera doesn’t work I have the same issues stated in the recall of many other trucks the same as mine but my vin is not included in the recall

Latch on drivers door won't latch and door will not stay closed sometimes when temperatures get below freezing

Uncontrollable shaking wobble in steering known as death wobble.

On about Sep 23 on the afternoon I hit a pothole in the road and my back window fell out of the truck. The whole assembly that keeps the rear sliding window in place just failed.

THE FORWARD FACING CAMERA HAS BECOME CLOUDED. THIS PRECLUDES ME FROM SEEING DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK WHEN PULLING OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN AND ITEMS THAT MAY BE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK.

wHEN TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW FREEZING MOISTURE GET IN DOOR PANELS AND FREEZES THE LOCKING SYSTEM SO THAT THE DOES WILL NOT STAY CLOSED, MAKING MY TRUCK UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIME WHEN ON THE ROAD WAS AFRAID FOR PASSENGER AND ANIMALS IN THE TRUCK.

Frozen door locks and latches. Door freezes in cold temperatures and when the door is opened the door locks freeze in the open position not allowing the doors to close and latch properly or at all.

Recently I was leaving my neighborhood to take my kids to school. I used the remote start and noticed that the doors were not unlocking properly with the exception of the drivers side door. I opened the passenger door from the inside for my child to get into the truck. As we were about to depart the neighborhood for a busy main street, I noticed the door ajar light on the dash was on. I told my son to go ahead and close his door again. When he attempted to open and re-close the door we notice it was not fully latched and then the door would then not close at all as the latch was not functioning properly. I had to turn around and drive very slowly back to my house with my son holding the door closed. This was so incredibly unsafe and I'm thankful I was still in my neighborhood when it happened and not stopping for gas on the interstate or traveling long distances for work. I immediately looked on the Ford website for recalls and contacted the local Ford dealership. There are no recalls at this time. However, there are two Customer Satisfaction Recalls for the door latch and the door lock actuators. (Campaign #18N03 and 20M04). I brought my truck to this dealership for repairs as it is not safe to drive and will in no way pass the state inspection that is due on it. The maintenance shop called me around 24 hours later and stated that the door latch stopped functioning and wiring for the door locks was damaged somehow (unknown how, no damage to my vehicle has ever occurred) but they weren't tied to any recalls or safety programs. This was extremely unsettling to me as the two Satisfaction programs mention this parts specifically. So, unfortunately I am forced to pay a significant amount of money to the Ford dealership for repairs that sound A LOT like problems they are aware of. The receptionist also stated that she had heard of similar issues with these trucks.

DEATH WOBBLE : First time it happened. We were pulling a trailer; we had to come to a complete stop. We called the dealer that we bought the F-250 with a gas engine from; they did work on it that ended up costing us additional money. When the dealer fixed it supposedly it was under warranty. Now it is doing it again; so the warranty didn't fix it.This truck has around 15,000 miles on it now. Our son-in law was driving it about a month ago ; he hit a bump and it did it again. He had to slow way down or stop for it to quit the wobble. He had our grandkids with him. Ford needs to address this problem.

Front end shakes violently if I hit a bump. Has happened numerous times usually above 50 mph. Only 21,000 thousand miles on vehicle and tires are in fair shape. Was told by a mechanic that it was a common problem on Ford 250 and advised to report the problem. Requires slowing down dramatically to allow to correct.

My truck is actually in f250. The door actuator due to the cold which has been an issue on this truck has frozen again. The first time my child almost fell out of the truck 2 years ago due to door lock / actuator. I had taken it back for the recall said recall. On Friday when it was -37° wind chill the actuator locked me out of my running truck which almost caused me to get frostbite on my fingers

I was driving on interstate and hit bump on a bridge and the front of the truck began to shake violently. I could not steer truck. I applied the brakes and it got worse. I got the truck below 40mph and the shaking stopped. My safety and others were at risk because I couldn’t steer the truck. I took the truck to an alignment and front end shop and they told me that this was common in the Ford F250 called a death wobble. I am currently trying to-get to ford dealer. I will not be driving the truck after researching the problem ford has with this vehicle. It is a life threatening event when this happens. I bought the truck from a friend and contacted him after the event happened and he said it happened to him he took to ford dealer and they fixed in 2020 and it didnt happen again. He said the replaced a damper on truck. Truck only has 24000 miles so these things shouldnt be happening.

Driving down the highway hit a little bump and a horrible wobble in steering

FORD 2017 F250 - Fuel system completely collapsed, with NO WARNING truck completely went powerless doing 70 MPH on the highway with my son in the back of the truck. Luckily I had the mind to pull over safely. What if I was towing a load or similar on mountain roads. Ford said they found rust and debris in the fuel system, they would not cover it under Premium Ford warranty. Safeco/Liberty Mutual stated they tested the fuel and was fine. No coverage either on Auto Insurance. Total cost was $13,500 to repair the system on which I had full warranty and full insurance coverage. Ford did help with a $4000 Customer retention help fund. I am reporting in hopes to save lives, if I I wasn't aware at the time of the complete power failure things could have been significantly worse. I was completely unimpressed with both Ford/Liberty Mutual on the handling of the SCARY situation. I send a personal letter to the FORD CEO and got nothing. I believe FORD is hiding on this issue with BAD FUEL pumps (CP4 version) and trying to blame owners or bad fuel systems.

I was driving down Haleakala Highway Maui and wasn’t pushing the gas or braking and my truck started shaking uncontrollably with my daughter in the truck. It was the scariest thing I have ever encountered…..I believe it was the ford death wobble

Death wobble

Have experienced a violent shaking ("death wobble") on multiple occasions while driving at highway speeds. When this occurs, the steering wheel and entire vehicle wobbles/shakes and the only way to stop it is to quickly reduce speed. This has almost led to multiple accidents while driving at highway speeds.

The truck shakes violently at high speeds, sometimes after going over a bump.

I WAS TRAVELING AT 75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. I CROSSED A BRIDGE AND WHEN I HIT THE BRIDGE TO ROAD TRANSITION THE STEERING WHEEL AND TRUCK BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO COME TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER BEFORE THE SHAKING QUIT. IT IS THE NOTORIOUS "DEATH WOBBLE" THAT THESE TRUCKS ARE KNOWN FOR. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT.

While driving my 2017 F250 on the highway truck started to wobble/shake out of control at 65 mph, causing me to maneuver across multiple lanes to end up in the ditch in the median.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving approximately 60-65 MPH, the steering wheel and vehicle were shaking uncontrollably. The contact lost control of the vehicle and drove over the jersey wall. The check engine warning light was illuminated. There were no reported injuries. The vehicle was towed to a collision repair facility. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

Mileage: 140,000

I have had the tail gate open several times. I have had the tailgate repaired under a recall twice and then I replaced the entire wiring harness for it. Unfortunately the issue continues to happen.

After hitting a bump or bridge on the highway, the vehicle shakes dangerously and uncontrollably. It has happened since I bought it but I could control it by slowing down significantly. It got worse over time. It has steered me out of my driving lane. I took it to the Ford dealership for inspection and repair. About 6 months later it started happening again. It is currently very severe. Today was the latest occurrence.

Ford death wobble

Death wobble going over 50mph or hitting bumps. Occurs often, not just today.

I AM EXPERIENCING WHAT PEOPLE REFER TO AS 'THE DEATH WOBBLE'. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN DECEMBER 2020. ALL 4 INSTANCES WERE THE SAME.... GOING AROUND MAYBE 48MPH ON A CITY STREET WITH UNEVEN PAVEMENT/SMALL HOLES THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I MEAN, THE WHOLE TRUCK WILL VICIOUSLY SHAKE AND GIVE THE DRIVER NO CONTROL UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 25MPH. WHEN IT SHAKES YOU HAVE TO HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHT AND JUST TRY YOUR BEST TO STAY IN YOUR LANE. IT'S SO DANGEROUS AND SCARY! THERE ARE TONS OF VIDEOS OF OTHER FORDS ONLINE DOING EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ME IN MY TRUCK. I BELIEVE IT IS AN ISSUE WITH 2017+ FORD F-250 AND F-350'S BUT THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL. SOMETHING WITH THESE YEAR MODELS SUSPENSION IS NOT CORRECT. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM IS GOING TO REPLACE THE DAMPENERS, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ FROM EVERYONE WITH THIS ISSUE, IT IS A TEMPORARY FIX AND THE WOBBLE RETURNS AFTER A FEW MONTHS. THERE IS A FORD INSTALLED 6IN LIFT AND 37IN TIRES ON THE TRUCK(HAD THIS WHEN I PURCHASED) BUT FROM INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE IS NOT RELATED TO THAT.

Mileage: 43,000

DRIVING ON I 495 LAST NIGHT AND EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE UNDER 27,000 MILES ON MY 2017 F250. IN THE PAST, I NOTICE SHAKING BUT THIS WAS ALOT WORSE AND LASTED A LONG TIME. I HAD TO PUT ON HAZARD LIGHTS AND MOVE OVER LANES TO SHOULDER WHILE SLOWING DOWN. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT BUT COULD EASILY HAVE BENN.

Mileage: 27,690

TAILGATE OPENED ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING 4X SO FAR. THIS IS AFTER IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR A RECALL ABOUT 2 YEAR'S AGO. EACH TIME I WAS DRIVING AND IT HAPPENED WITH THE FIRST 10 MINUTES. I WAS IN THE MOUNTAINS CAMPING WHEN IT HAPPENED

Mileage: 40,000

THE 1ST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY GOING STRAIGHT AT 45 MPH AND HIT A BUMP AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS JERKING UNCONTROLLABLE. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND IT FINALLY STOPPED SHAKING AT 25MPH. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS CALLED A DEATH WOBBLE. I COULDN'T TAKE IT IN TO BE FIXED AT FIRST BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A SO CALLED FIX FOR IT!! I FINALLY GOT IT IN FOR REPAIR AND THEY FIXED IT , I THOUGHT. THIS SAME OCCURRENCE HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. YESTERDAY JAN. 16, 2021 I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE GOING STRAIGHT AT AROUND 70 MPH AND HIT AN UNEVEN PART OF THE ROAD AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS JERKING OUT OF CONTROL, THE WHOLE TRUCK WAS SHAKING TERRIBLE. YOU COULD EVEN SEE LIGHT THRU THE DOOR JAMB OF THE CHASSIS. FINALLY AFTER SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES IT STOPPED SHAKING AT 30 MPH I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK!! I PURCHASED IT NEW AND SPENT OVER $75,000. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL FORD CUSTOMER BUT NOW I'M SCARED TO PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM FORD AGAIN .

Mileage: 50,000

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A DEATH WABBLE IN IT FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS AND HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES

Mileage: 20,000

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND THE REAR SLIDING WINDOW EXPLODED INSIDE OF THE CAB. WE HAD OUR DOGS WITH US LYING IN THE BACK THE GLASS FLEW INTO THE BACK AND EVEN DOWN OUR CLOTHES. NOTHING HIT THE TRUCK. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND GOT AS MUCH GLASS OUT OF THE CAR. IT LANDED EVERYWHERE. IT WAS VERY SCARY. THE PHOTO BELOW IS OF THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT. THE GLASS BLEW DOWN MY SHIRT.

Mileage: 53,350

WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. HAPPENED TWICE. JUST HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, HOPE FOR THE BEST AND GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER. ON THE WAY FROM MAINE TO FLORIDA, IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN SOUTH CAROLINA. TRUCK AGAIN IS SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND NO CONTROL OF STEERING. THE SUPPOSED FIX DID NOT ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. WITH A SUDDEN INABILITY TO STEER, THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

Mileage: 41,000

SEVERE CASES OF THE DEATH WOBBLE. HIT THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IN THE ROAD GOING OVER 50 AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN TO 10-20 MPH. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN 3 WRECKS NOW ON THE INTERSTATE FROM THIS ISSUE. FORD TOLD ME THE STEERING STABILIZER BAR IS OR BACKORDER UNTIL MID JANUARY. I HAVE A 60K TRUCK I CAN'T DRIVE AND NOT POSITIVE THE STEERING DAMPNER WILL EVEN FIX THE ISSUE.

Mileage: 45,000

DRIVING TRUCK STARTED SHAKING LOST STEERING RAN IN DITCH TIRE ROD BROKE FRONT END MESSED UP

A/C CONDENSER DAMAGED BY ROAD DEBRIS PER LOCAL FORD DEALER AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $995.00. THE GRILLE HAS LARGE HOLES IN IT THAT I CAN PUT MY HAND AND FOREARM THROUGH ON EACH SIDE OF THE FORD EMBLEM WHICH IS ALLOWING ROAD DEBRIS TO DAMAGE THE RADIATORS. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER SAID THEY HAD OTHER FORD F-250'S COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND ALSO ANOTHER ONE WHERE A BIRD WENT THROUGH ONE OF THESE LARGE HOLES AND TOOK OUT ANOTHER GUYS RADIATOR. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT / ERROR THAT WAS POORLY DESIGNED AND END UP COSTING THE CONSUMER ALOT OF MONEY TO FIX. THE FORD DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT WHEN I GET IT FIXED I NEED TO PUT A METAL SCREEN BEHIND THE GRILLE OR IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVE 63,000 MILES ON MY PICKUP NOW AND HAVE OWN CHEVY PICKUPS WITH OVER 100,000 MILES AND NEVER HAD ROAD DEBRIS DAMAGE A A/C CONDENSER OR A RADIATOR.

Mileage: 63,000

MY TRUCK ONLY HAS ABOUT 42,000 MILES AND OUT OF NO WERE IT STARTED SHAKING REAL BAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AS SOON AS A BUMP OR BRIDGE CONECTION WAS HIT THE VIBRATION OF THE VEHICLE WOULD INCREASE TO A POINT WERE YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO BE ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN. DUE TO THIS I WAS INCHES AWAY FROM HITTING THE CENTER BARRIER ON A FREEWAY AFTER NEARLY LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE COMPLETLY. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO A SMALL VIBRATION AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER ON THE WARRANTY AND OUT OF MY POCKET THE STEERING DRAG LINK AND IT HELPED BUT WAS STILL GETTING A VIBRATION AND NO MORE THAN A WEEK LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ALMOST TOOK ME OUT OF THE ROAD. IM NOT AURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS BUT IT HAS TO GET CORRECTED.

Mileage: 42,000

I HAVE EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHACKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE TRUCK. I HAD THIS ISSUE PRESENT ITSELF OVER 6 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING IT IN SEPT. 2016. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK BRAND NEW FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP. FIRST AND SECOND INSTANCE WERE IN LATE 2017WITH LESS APPROXIMATELY 18K MILES. ALL INSTANCES HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH OR HIGHER. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE AND THEN CONTINUES TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND THE ENTIRE CAB IS SHAKING. LOSE OF STEERING CONTROL. ONLY STOPPED AFTER FORCIBLY SLOWING DOWN TRUCK TO BELOW 25 MILE PER HOUR CAUSING POSSIBLE COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES OR BARRIERS. HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP AFTER THE SECOND INSTANCE AND THEY SAY FORD IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE AND COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. IN MAY OF 2020, THE DEALER DID ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR WAS AN ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED STEERING DAMPER UNDER WARRANTY BUT AFTER 4 MONTHS THE ISSUE CAME BACK MORE VIOLENTLY THAN BEFORE. ON OCT. 28TH, 2020, IT OCCURRED 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING WITHIN A 40 MILE DISTANCE. THIS TIME THE TRUCK SHOULD SO VIOLENTLY I HAD TO ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE INTERSTATE TO MAKE IT STOP SHACKING. ROAD WERE WET AND AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE TRUCK ANYMORE WHILE THIS ISSUE PRESENT. I HAVE RE-CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND MENTIONED THE ISSUE AND SERVICE THEY PERFORMED BACK IN MAY, THEY DID NOT RETURN CALL FOR ASSISTANCE.

Mileage: 60,000

WHEN IT RAINS THERE IS WATER DRIPPING FROM MY PASSENGER SIDE A PILLAR TRIM PANEL AND GLOVE BOX PUDDLING ON THE FLOOR BOARDS. THE FORD DEALER NEAR ME HAS WATER TESTED THE TRUCK AND HAS NOT FOUND ANYTHING, SO THEY WOULD LIKE A CONTRACTED GLASS SPECIALIST TO INSPECT THE WINDSHIELD SEAL EVEN THOUGH THEY COULDN'T FIND A LEAK IN IT.

DEATH WOBBLE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END SHAKE VIOLENTLY MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING ON ROUGH ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS WAITIG FOR BACK ORDERED PART FORD DEALER REPLACED STEERING DAMPER AS FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM 2/21/2020 30241 MILES. PROBLEM BACK IN AUGUST 2020 38817 MILES.

Mileage: 38,800

HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. WHILE DRIVING TRUCK WILL BUCK THEN LOSE TOTAL POWER AND WILL NOT RESTART. ALWAYS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

Mileage: 58,696

I HAVE A 2017 F-250 WITH 24,000 MILES ON IT RECENTLY STARTED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". USUALLY ONLY HAPPENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS (60 OR BETTER) AND AFTER HITTING A "ROUGH PATCH" IN THE ROAD OR BRIDGE JOINTS. FORD SEEMS TO SAY IT'S BECAUSE SOME OF US AREN'T ALWAYS CARRYING +/- 1000 LBS OF CARGO. I WONDER IF THE PROBLEM HAS TO DO WITH THE 800 LBS THEY TOOK OFF THE TARE WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK WHEN THEY WENT TO THE ALUMINUM BODY IN 2017? *TR

Mileage: 24,378

VEHICLE WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN TRAVELING 50+ MPH AND IT HITS A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE IS UNCONTROLLABLE AND REQUIRES IMMEDIATE DECELERATION UNTIL THE SHAKING SMOOTHES OUT ENOUGH TO SAFELY RESUME DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE THIS POSES AN EXTREME RISK OF HAVING OR CAUSING A MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION. *TR

Mileage: 13,000

WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL GOES INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE WHIPPING, OR THE FAMOUS "DEATH WOBBLE" AFTER YOU HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD. YOU NEED TO BRING THE TRUCK DOWN IN SPEED TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS CONDITION IS NOT SAFE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC AROUND YOU, AND IS VERY UPSETTING AND SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS. THIS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AFTER YOU HIT BUMPS. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE ON OUR TRIP BACK FROM FLORIDA TO WISCONSIN. I HAD A 5TH WHEEL CAMPER ATTACHED TO THE TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED, SO I WAS EVEN MORE AFRAID OF LOSING CONTROL WITH THAT AMOUNT OF TRAILER IN TOW.

Mileage: 57,000

ON HIGHWAY. AT ABOUT 70 MPH TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHICH I CALL DEATH WOBBLE. I HAD TO SLAM THE BREAK AND PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID CRASHING. THIS TRUCK HAD LESS THAN 20K MILES ON IT WHEN IT HAPPENED AND CONTINUED TO HAPPEN UP UNTIL I SOLD IT IN 2019

Mileage: 20,000

DEATH WOBBLE....ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK.

Mileage: 50,000

AT 71 MPH WHILE THE TRUCK WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, I WENT OVER A BRIDGE AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE LIKE IT WAS COMING APART. THE TRUCK'S BACK END STARTED TO COME AROUND ON ME LIKE IT WAS SKIDDING AND WENT BACK AND FORTH A COUPLE TIMES. THE ROAD WAS COMPLETELY STRAIGHT AND DRY SO THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY REASON THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED EITHER. CARS ON BOTH SIDES OF ME WENT TO THE SHOULDER AND DITCH TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY INSTANTLY KNEW WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING AND CALL IT THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. THE TRUCK HAS 15,500 MILES ON IT WITH ORIGINAL TIRES, NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR ANY OTHER REASON TO DO THIS. VERY SCARY AND I WON'T LET THE FAMILY IN IT NOW. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT WILL MOST LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN AS THEY HAVE TRUCKS COME BACK OVER AND OVER TRYING TO FIX IT BUT THERE ISN'T A LEGITIMATE FIX FROM FORD.

Mileage: 15,500

I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY DOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH (SPEED LIMIT). WHEN I HIT A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT THE TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY VIBRATING TO THE POINT I WAS LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I RAPIDLY DECELERATED AND THE VIOLENT SHAKING STOPPED AFTER I SLOWED THE VEHICLE TO APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT I WAS SECONDS AWAY FROM VEERING OFF THE ROAD INTO THE TREES. THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN FROM FORD ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT IT IS NOT A RECALL. SOMEONE IS LIKELY GOING TO DIE FOR WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE TECHNICAL BULLETIN FROM FORD ON THIS ISSUE IS: TSB# 18- 2268. NTHIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

Mileage: 34,000

DRIVING ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR ON A STATE MAINTAINED HIGHWAY I HIT A SMALL DEPRESSION IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK AND THE STEERING COLUMN STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT I HAD VERY LITTLE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND STOP. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD DESCRIBING THE DEATH WOBBLE EFFECT. THAT DESCRIPTION IS EXACTLY WHAT I EXPERIENCED.

Mileage: 5

DRIVING IN BETWEEN 50 AND 65 I HIT A BUMP OR POT HOLE IN THE ROAD THE FRONT END STARTS TO SHAKE AND SHAKES THE WHOLE CAB OF THE TRUCK BAD. TRUCK HAS 29K MILES. HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 30 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING.

Mileage: 29,000

VERY SCARY DEATH WOBBLE.AT SPEEDS FROM 45 TO 65 MPH I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO FORD WITH NO HELP. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THE TIRES WERE BAD. WHICH WAS VERY STRANGE BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAD ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON THEM. SO I REPLACED THEM AT THE DEALER WITH FACTORY ORIGINALS. NO FIX NO HELP FROM FORD

Mileage: 35,000

OVER THE PAST 5 MONTHS (IT IS NOW 1/30/2020) THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, TYPICALLY HIGHWAY SPEEDS, RANGING ANYWHERE FROM 50-80 MPH. ALTHOUGH, IT HAS HAPPENED AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 40-45. IT HAPPENS OUT OF NOWHERE WITH NO APPARENT PROVOCATION, I.E., HITTING A POTHOLE, TURNING, HITTING THE BRAKES, ETC. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND NOTHING SEEMS TO MAKE IT STOP. I'VE TRIED HITTING THE BRAKES, SLAMMING THE BRAKES, CONTINUING TO HOLD MY SPEED STEADY, ACCELERATING SLIGHTLY, AND PRAYING TO GOD TO MAKE IT STOP. NOTHING WORKS, IT JUST EVENTUALLY STOPS BUT NOT BEFORE TRAFFIC CLEARS ALL AROUND ME. IT IS NOTICEABLE FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AS I HAVE SEEN DRIVERS HIT THE BRAKES AND FALL BACK IN TRAFFIC AROUND ME. THE VIOLENT SHAKING MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STEADY OR IN MY LANE OF TRAFFIC. THE VIOLENT SHAKING MAKES THE VEHICLE BOUNCE ALL OVER THE ROAD. IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STEADY OR STRAIGHT. IT IS TERRIFYING AND UNNERVING. I BELIEVE IT IS GOING TO KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. I HAUL TRAILERS WITH HEAVY EQUIPMENT ALMOST DAILY. MANY TIMES I AM ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON CITY STREETS. IF IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, THE DAMAGE WILL BE COSTLY AND MAY KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE, INCLUDING MYSELF. I AM AFRAID TO THINK WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THESE UNEXPECTED, VIOLENT SHAKES HAPPEN WHILE I AM HAULING HEAVY EQUIPMENT.

Mileage: 32,000

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60MPH), I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY IN THE FRONT END, TO A POINT THAT I FELT I MIGHT LOSE CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT TO STOP WAS TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW AND IS "VERY" CONCERNING. THE SECOND TIME WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEED AS WELL, THIS TIME 70MPH.

Mileage: 48,000

I HAVE A 2017 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 4X4 THAT I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END THE SALESMAN THAT I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM CALLS THE PROBLEM A DEATH WABBLE THE TRUCK HAS 53000 MILES ON IT BUT TOMBALL FORD WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE OUT OF THE PARTS THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM NATION WIDE .*BF*JB

WHILE GOING 70 MPH AFTER CROSSING A SMALL OVER PASS THE SMALL BUMP WHERE IT MEETS THE ROAD, SENT THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE INTO WHAT I CAN ONLY SAY WAS A VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL SHAKING THAT I COULD NOT STOP FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHOOT UNCONTROLLABLY AS I DID ALL I COULD TO SMASH THE BRAKE PEDAL THAT DID VERY LITTLE, AS WELL AS HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL THAT WAS GOING BACK AND FORTH SO HARD AND FAST IT WAS IT COULD NOT BE TURNED IN ANY DIRECTION UNTIL THE VEHICLES SLOWED. WE WERE IN TRAFFIC AT THE TIME AND I COULD NOT CONTROL MY VEHICLE UNTIL IT SLOWED AND I COULD GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE SHAKING WAS VERY VIOLENT. I KNOW ABOUT VEHICLES SO I LOOKED OVER THE WHOLE FRONT END AND SAW NOTHING WRONG. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME, ABOUT 30 MILES FROM THE INCIDENT AT 50 MPH. I HAD A WOBBLE AROUND 25 MPH GOING DOWN AN ON-RAMP. THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 24,000. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THE SERVICEMAN SAID, OH, YOU HAD A 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND SAID IT JUST NEEDED ADJUSTMENT. HE NEVER SAID THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, OR THAT IT NEEDS TO BE MONITORED IN SOME WAY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE PER OTHERS ON THE INTERNET. MY TRUCK HAS 57,475 MILES ON IT.

Mileage: 57,457

RETURNING FROM NASHVILLE TO MANDEVILLE, LA WE HI IT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT 70 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK BEGAN VOLENTLY VIBRATING. SIMILAR TO A BLOWN TIRE. WE HAD TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY FOR IT TO STOP. IT HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN LESS THAN AN HOUR.

Mileage: 40,300

WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK ON ANY ROAD AT SPEED BEYOND 55MPH, IF THE TRUCK HITS A BRIDGE JOINT OR A BUMP, THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE WILL OFTEN BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO RAPIDLY SLOW THE VEHICLE TO APPROX 30MPH. THIS BECOMES INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS WHEN YOUR DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS COMMON DEFECT IS GOING TO KILL SOMEBODY AND SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY WITH A RECALL BEING ISSUED. ITS UNBELIEVABLE THIS CONTINUES ON ALL THESE TRUCKS WITH NO HELP TO THE VEHICLE OWNERS.

Mileage: 20,000

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY BETWEEN 60MPH AND 80MPH IF ROUGH PATCH OR BUMP THE ROAD IS HIT THE TRUCK WILL START SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THE STEERING WILL LOCK UP. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT CORRECT ITSELF UNTIL THE TRUCK IS SLOWED TO 30MPH. IT IS STARTING TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN. TODAY WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR IT HAPPENED AND I ALMOST HIT A CONCRETE HIGHWAY DIVIDER. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THE PARTS THAT ARE TO FIX IT DONT REMEDY THE ISSUE. BASICALLY THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO AT THIS POINT. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SO I AM NOT DRIVING THE EXPENSIVE TRUCK I'VE HAD FOR ONLY A YEAR AND DEFINITELY WILL NOT HAVE MY KIDS IN IT UNTIL SOMETHING IS FIXED.

Mileage: 33,000

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK ON CHRISTMAS DAY AND HIT A SMALL BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND WAS HARD TO CONTROL. I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROX. 30-35 MPH AND THE SHAKING WENT AWAY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE TECH SAID IT WAS 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND EVEN PUT THAT ON THE SERVICE ORDER. THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW IMPROVED STABILIZER AND THAT IT WOULD IT WOULD BE TAKE 6-8 WEEKS TO RECEIVE THE PART. I AM NOW WITH A TRUCK THAT MY WIFE AND GRANDKIDS WILL NOT RIDE IN AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING IT. THE SHAKING IS VERY VIOLENT AND THE VEHICLE IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL. THEN, HAVING TO SLOW TO 30MPH IN A MIDDLE LANE ON THE HIGHWAY IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Mileage: 30,000

I JUST HAD TWO EXPERIENCES WITH 'DEATH WOBBLE' IN ONE DAY AND IT WAS MY FIRST TIME DEALING WITH IT. I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 65 MPH HIT A HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD ON A SMALL COUNTY ROAD THAT SENT MY TRUCK FRONT STEERING JERKING BACK AND FORTH AND I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO GET IT BACK UNDER CONTROL. I THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE ISSUE AND GOT OUT AND LOOK AT TIRES AND SHOCKS AND LINKAGE TO FIND NOTHING WRONG. SECOND IS THE WORST, I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK ON THE WAY HOME AND I HIT ANOTHER BUMP IN THE ROAD WHEN IT STARTED AGAIN. I THIS IS VERY UNNERVING AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WITH FAMILY IN TRUCK

Mileage: 24,652

WHEN DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH AND COMING INTO CONTACT WITH ANY UNEVEN SPOTS IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND JUMP UP AND DOWN LEFT AND RIGHT SO BAD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO ANYTHING BUT HIT THE BRAKES.WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS TO ABOUT 30MPH THE SHAKING SUBSIDES AND IS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT BUMP IN THE ROAD.. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 5 MINS AND IN LESS THAN 1 MILE DISTANCE ON A STATE HIGHWAY .. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD ABOUT 8000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE ,IT HAS HAPPENED 10 TIMES SINCE, EVERY TIME AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 50MPH

Mileage: 11,000

VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT END WHEN HITTING A BUMP AT 70 MPH THAT ALMOST MADE DRIVER LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL SLOWING DOWN TO 50 MPH.

Mileage: 33,000

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON A STRAIGHT AWAY AT 60 MILES PER HOUR MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TWO UNDER 25 MILES PER HOUR. I GOT OUT TO CHECK TO SEE IF A TIRE HAD BLOWN OR A WHEEL HAD FALLEN OFF BECAUSE OF HOW DRAMATIC THE SHAKING WAS. THERE IS NO VISUAL SIGN OF ANYTHING BROKEN OR LOOSE AND UPON THOROUGHLY CHECKING I STARTES DRIVING HOME AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. BOTH MY PASSENGER AND I THOUGHT THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO FALL APART WITH US IN IT.

MULTIPLE TIMES, IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE " IN MY TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 45000 MILES. THE DEATH WOBBLE USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, WHICH CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY, LOSING CONTROL OF THE TRUCK.

Mileage: 42,500

I HAD JUST STOPPED FOR GAS AND GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS IN THE PASSING LANE GOING OVER A BRIDGE DECK AND AS SOON AS I CAME OFF THE BRIDGE THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING HORRIBLY. I LET THE CAR NEXT TO ME PASS AS I SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OVER. SCARED MYSELF AND MY UNCLE TO DEATH AND STILL HAD TO DRIVE 160 MILES TO GET HOME. AFTER RETURNING HOME I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY REPLACED DAMPER STEERING LINKAGE BUT AS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE WE DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE IN IT'S SAFETY!

Mileage: 24,450

WE WERE PULLING 5TH WHEEL AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. HIT BUMP IN ROAD. PICKUP STARTED SHIMMING/SHAKING VIOLENTLY, ALMOST LOST CONTROL. HAD TO REDUCE SPEED IMMEDIATELY WHICH IS HARD TO DO IN TRAFFIC. HOWEVER, THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WITHOUT THE FIFTH WHEEL DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH. HIT BUMP IN ROAD AND YOU HAVE TO ALL BUT SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO GET IT TO STOP. DID THIS AGAIN 3-4 TIMES TRYING TO REACH DEALERSHIP. THE PICKUP HAS BEEN IN DEALERSHIP FOR THREE (3) WEEKS TODAY. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN PART WILL BE IN TO FIX IF FIXABLE.

HWY 129 DODGE COUNTY GA, A1116T 60 MPH TRUCK VIOLENTLY WENT LEFT AND FRONT END STARTED UNCONTROLLABLE SEVERE SHAKING/OSCILLATING. SLAMMED ON BRAKES AND ONLY REGAINED CONTROL OF TRUCK AFTER MPH DROPPED BELOW 30. STARED MOVING AGAIN AND 20 MIN LATER AT 60 SAME THING! CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE AN APT THIS MORNING AT 9 THEY SWAY BAR ISSUE, I RESEARCH AND ITS CALLED DEATH WOBBLE. IF SOME ONE HAD BEEN IN THE ON COMING LANE THIS WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY/COMPLAINT AS WE DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE SURVIVED!!!

Mileage: 24,600

I'VE HAD MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OF THE DEATH WOBBLE WHILE DRIVE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED YESTERDAY 11/16/20 AND WAS THE WORST INCIDENT SO FAR. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AFTER HITTING A COUPLE SEEMS IN THE CONCRETE THE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND WOBBLE, PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE OVER THE COURSE OF 1-2 MINS. I LET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDDLE AND APPLIED SLIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BREAKS, WHICH MADE THE WOBBLE WORSE. AFTER FINALLY SLOWING DOWN TO ~30 MPH THE TRUCK STOPPED WOBBLING AND SHAKING. I HONESTLY BELIEVE A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER COULD HAVE EASILY LOST CONTROL AND ROLLED THE TRUCK CAUSING A MULTIPLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY KILLING PEOPLE.

Mileage: 24,100

DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 55 OR ABOVE AND HIT A BUMP ON HIGHWAY THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKES AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL ALMOST STOPPING THE VEHICLE. IT'S HAPPENED ONCE AT 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE AND 5 TIMES GOING 55 ON A STATE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE HAS 54000 ON IT. JUST HAPPENED NOV 15TH AND 17TH 2019. VERY SCARY AND COULD LEAD TO REAL SAFETY PROBLEMS PULLING A TRAILER.

Mileage: 54,000

WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH DRY ROADS, THE FRONT END STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE DREADED "DEATH WOBBLE" THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED BUT YET FORD HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE FOR YEARS.

Mileage: 53,750

MY TRUCK HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". ON 6/7/19 TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER WITH 32,499 MILES. GULF COAST FORD ANGELTON,TX. DEALER CONFIRMED DEATH WOBBLE REPLACED ALL 4 STEERING LINKS, STEERING SHOCK, CHECKED ALIGNMENT AND SET TOE. 10/22/19 TRUCK NOW HAS 41,000 MILES AND THE DEATH WOBBLE HAS RETURNED. WAITING TO HEAR FROM DEALER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN OF LOOSING CONTROL OF VEHICLE. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE DEATH WOBBLE. PLEASE TAKE ACTION ON THIS ISSUE I KNOW THAT NHTSA HAS HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. THIS IS THE SECOND FORD THAT I HAVE HAD THAT HAD THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE 2019 MODELS DO IT AS WELL. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. BOTH DEATH WOBBLES I HAVE EXPERIENCED VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT SPEEDS OF 60-65

Mileage: 41,000

DEATH WOBBLE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING SO BAD I HAD TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE ON HIGHWAY DRIVING AROUND 65MPH.

Mileage: 56,000

DEATH WOBBLE. VEHICLE GOES INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE WHEN THE ROAD SURFACE TRANSITIONS OR WHEN TRUCK COMES IN CONTACT WITH A BUMP. FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY. TRUCK HAS TO BE SLOWED DOWN NEARLY TO STOP BEFORE IT STOPS. MAJOR ISSUE WHEN YOU ARE ON AN INTERSTATE WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND PEOPLES LIVES AROUND YOU.

Mileage: 35,000

DRIVING VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS NOTICED VIBRATIONS IN THE FRONT END OF VEHICLE A SHAKING OF SOME SORT AT ABOUT MILE 33000 AND MENTIONED TO SERVICE MANAGE THAT THEIR WAS A CLUNKING IN THE FRONT END BUT HIS COMPUTER WAS DOWN TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC ON IT WHEN HE DID OIL CHANGE AT 33805 HIS SERVICE TECH DROVE IT AND HEARD IT ALSO BUT COULD NOT LOCATE THE ORIGIN AT THAT TIME. DEALERSHIP COULDNT FIND NOTHING WRONG. ON VISITS. IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD ENCOUNTER A BUMP IN TRAVEL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME TOTALLY UNCONTROLLABLE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 72 TO 52 MPH. I 75 SOUTH AT MICANOPY FL OVERPASS. HWY 351 IN DIXIE COUNTY FL. HWY 441 AT ALACHIA NORTH BOUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 DIFFERENT TIMES AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW ITS 4TH TIME AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS REQUESTED AND STILL HA E A VEHICLE THAT WILL WRECK EVENTUALLY. FUE TO QUICK RESPONCE SEMI TRUCK DRIVERS THEY SEEN THE TRUCK GOING ACROSS TO THE CENTER MEDIAN THEN BACK ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH OUT VERY MUCH CONTROL BY THE DRIVER EXCEPT TO TAP THE BRAKES AND PRAY. THE TRAFFIC WAS BEHIND ME AT A COMFORTABLE DISTANCE WHEN I FINALLY BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO REST AT THE SHOULD OF THE ON RAMP. THIS VEHICLE IS UNFIT TO DRIVE AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU. A SLIGHT BUMP AT TIME IS ALL IT TAKES TO SHAKE THE FRONT END AND YOUR ENTIRE TRUCK AND BEING. I FEEL I AM VERY UNSAFE WITH THIS TRUCK THAT IT WAS TOWED BY DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. THEY RECOMMEND TRADING IT IN ON ANOTHER BUT I WOULD FEEL THE SAME AS THEY HAVE STATED THAT 7 PERCENT OF THEIR 250S HAVE THIS ISSUE. THAT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I WOULD NOT WANT ANY ONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS WHAT THEY CALL YHE DEATH WOBBLE. I WILL NOT DRIVE YHIS TRUCK AGAIN AND MY FAMILY WILL NOT EITHER. THEY REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPNER 2 TIMES THEN ANOTHER PART . AND WE STILL HAVE THE DEATH WOBBLE TODAY

Mileage: 45,034

I HAVE A SEVERE WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK. IT ISN'T A CONSTANT WOBBLE AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. I NOTICE IT HAPPENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND WHEN HITTING A BUMP. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER IT DIDN'T HELP. THE SECOND TIME I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS TIGHT AND RIGHT AND THAT MY TIRES WERE OUT OF BALANCE. I HAD THEM BALANCED THAT SAME DAY, AGAIN IT DIDN'T HELP. THE PROBLEM FORCING ME TO BASICALLY PARK MY VEHICLE OR ONLY DRIVE IT AROUND TOWN AT LOWER SPEEDS THAT I KNOW I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED THE WOBBLE AT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK BECAUSE WHEN THIS WOBBLE HAPPENS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL I HAVE TO TRY AND SLOW DOWN AND PULLOVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. YOU SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AS I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REPORTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE VERY SAME ISSUE. IT'S UNSAFE AND IT GOING TO KILL PEOPLE IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE TO MAKE THE MANUFACTURER FIX THESE PROBLEMS.

DEATH WOBBLE IN THE 2017 FORD F250 IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. WE WERE NEARLY KILLED THIS PAST WEEKEND. FORD SERVICE HAS IT RIGHT NOW. BUT FROM ALL THE REVIEWS I HAVE READ, THE WOBBLE RETURNS AND USUALLY AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED ONE TIME TO US 6 MONTHS AGO, AND THIS PAST WEEKEND ABOUT 5 OR 6 TIMES ON A 250 MILE ROAD TRIP. SHAKES AND WOBBLES UNCONTROLLABLY . WE WERE ON I-40 GOING ABOUT 70 MILES MPH. WHEN WE WOULD HIT BUMPS OR CROSS UNEVEN BRIDGE IT WOULD GO CRAZY.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING ON THE I10 FREEWAY WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLES STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I STARTED LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

AT APPROXIMATELY 35,500 MILES I HAD THE TRACK BAR, A NEW STEERING BOX AND PITMAN ARM REPLACED BECAUSE OF WEAR, AT APPROXIMATELY 36,000 THE TRUCK DEVELOPED "DEATH WOBBLE" 3 TIMES OVER SMALL BUMPS AT ABOUT 50MPH . I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY BACK TO FORD AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON I 81 IN THE FAST LANE THINKING THEY FIXED AND THE TRUCK AGAIN WENT INTO DEATH WOBBLE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 -70 MPH AND HAD TO BRAKE EXTREMELY HARD DOWN TO ABOUT 35 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR PILE UP AS THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THAT TIME. AFTER I GOT BACK I DROPPED THE TRUCK AT FORD AGAIN AND TOLD HIM DRIVE IT, WHICH HE WOULDN'T , HE SAID HE CHECKED ALL THE STEERING COMPONENTS AND THEY WERE TIGHT, HE SAID "TAKE TO SOME PLACE THAT HAS A BETTER ALIGNMENT RACK, SO I DID THAT AND PAID OUT OF MY OWN POCKET FOR IT. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, I REPLACED THE STEERING BOX TO A TOP OF THE LINE BOX OUT OF MY OWN POCKET EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN REPLACED . I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK SAFELY SINCE NOV. OF 2018 AND IT IS NOW JUL. 29TH 2019. I CANT LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF KILLING AN INNOCENT PERSON, EVEN THE MECHANIC THAT PUT THE SECOND STEERING BOX IN DID THE ALIGNMENT AGAIN IS SCARED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WITH HIM AFTER THE 2ND REPLACEMENT BOX. AFTER LOOKING FOR THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTIONS I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. IF THIS IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF PEOPLE ARE GOING DIE, IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY. IT IS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THERE ARE NOT DEATHS AND VERY SERIOUS INJURIES CAUSED BY THIS AS I HAVE BEEN THROWN INTO THE OTHER LANE SEVERAL TIMES AND DROP A HUGE AMOUNT OF SPEED VERY QUICKLY . I PAID $60,000 DOLLARS FOR A BRAND NEW TRUCK AND NOW NO ONE CAN SAFELY DRIVE IT, EVEN THE MECHANIC'S ARE SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE HAD DEATH WOBBLE AT LEAST 13 TO 15 TIMES FROM JANUARY UNTIL NOW AND AT SPEEDS FROM 45 TO 70. PLEASE HELP !!

THE ANTENNA MOUNT IS BROKEN AND VERY POORLY MADE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE IT THROUGH A CAR WASH, CHECKED 2018 SAME MODEL AND THE MOUNT HAS BEEN CHANGED TO A HEAVY DUTY MOUNTING BRACKET. WHEN I WAS DRIVING, IT WAS WAVING IN THE WIND AND AT ONE TIME CAME OUT COMPLETLY. I WAS AFRAID IT WOULD HIT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING AND DO HARM OR DAMAGE TO SOMEONE OR SOMETHING INCLUDING KILLING SOMEONE. I HAD TO USE SOME TYPE OF AGENT TO HOLD IT DOWN BUT THAT HAS TO BE REPLACED EVERY MONTH. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, AND ANY VEHICLE SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE TO GO THROUGH A CAR WASH. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO HAWK FORD IN OAK LAWN, IL (INVOICE #841990) WITH NO REPAIRS BEING DONE. WAS TOLD IT WAS MY PROBLEM TO DEAL WITH.

I WAS HAULING CARGO AND THE AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE TAILGATE OPENED AND THE LOAD EJECTED FROM THE THE BED OF TRUCK ONTO THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE TO ANYONE ELSE PROPERTY. AFTER THIS OCCURRENCE OVER A PERIOD OF WEEKS THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. IT HAPPENS NOW REGULARLY AND NUMEROUS TIMES DURING A DAY. I DO NOT HAUL CARGO NOW BECAUSE OF THIS. NOW THE TRUCK ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE INVOLVED. THE WINDOWS, RADIO AND LIGHTS HAVE ISSUES. THE TAILGATE HAS NO NOW STOPPED OPENING RANDOMLY AND IS STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION, THIS COULD BE DO TO EXTREME FORCE I APPLIED DURING CLOSING IT IN WHILE STETTING AT A BUSY INTERSECTION RECENTLY.

AT 60 TO 65 MPH WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD (GOING OVER BRIDGES) THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY / VIOLENTLY. IN TWO CASES I WENT OFF THE ROAD TRYING TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. IT WILL NOT STOP UNLESS YOU SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH. IN ALL CASES IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. TYPICALLY WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC WHILE ENTERING FROM AN ON RAMP.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPX. 70-75 MPH AFTER HITTING A ROUGH PATCH OR BUMPS ON THE ROAD THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIGOROUSLY, I HAD TO SLOW TO 35-40 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP.

I WAS JUST IN THE DEARLSHIP ON FRIDAY 02/15/19 AND MENTIONED IT TO THEM THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT AND WOULD BE $120 DIAGNOSTIC FEE NEVER GOT AN ANSWER BACK. THIS MORNING ALONE I HAD EXPERIENCED IT 3 TIMES IN THE 40 MILES I DRIVE TO WORK. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND TO EXPERIENCE IT THAT MANY TIMES IN A 40 MILE DRIVE TO WORK IS NOT OK. LUCKILY MY KIDS AND WIFE WEREN'T IN THE TRUCK THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER RODE IN IT AGAIN. I HAVE 41K MILES ON MY TUCK AND THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. BEFORE TAKING THE TRIES TO BE BALANCED AND ROTATED FIXED THE ISSUE SO IT SEAMED BUT RIGHT AFTER LAVING THE TIRE SHOP IT HAPPENED. I WILL BE TAKING THE TRUCK BACK TO FORD AGAIN FOR THEM TO TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. WHAT IS THE FIX FOR THIS? IT SEAMS TO A COMMON PROBLEM IS FORD DOING ANYTHING TO HELP ITS CUSTOMERS? NOW AFTER THIS RUN OF SUDDEN SHAKES MY SUN ROOF WILL NOT OPEN SEAMS TO BE JAMMED OR OFF TRACK FROM THE VIOLENT SHAKING NOT SURE WHAT ELSE IS BROKEN OR NO LONGER WORKS AFTER THIS.

MY FORD F-250 EXPERIENCED A SEVERE "DEATH WOBBLE" ON 3 OCCASIONS CAUSING THE NEED TO SLOW DOWN FROM 65 MPH TO 25 MPH ON THE FREEWAY DURING NORMAL TRAFFIC. ON ONE OCCASION, THE SHAKING WAS SO BAD IT WENT TO THE ADJACENT DRIVING LANE WHILE ON AN ON-RAMP AND WAS COMPLETELY UNCONTROLLABLE. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP NOW AND HAVING THE STEERING SHOCK REPLACED BUT THE SERVICE REP STATED THEY ARE JUST TRYING THIS AS A SOLUTION BUT DO NOT KNOW THE ROOT CAUSE. THEY ARE ALSO REQUESTING THAT I PAY FOR AN ALIGNMENT AS ANOTHER POSSIBLE SOLUTION. THE TRUCK HAS ROUGHLY 20K MILES ON IT AND IS COMPLETELY STOCK (LESS A CAMPER SHELL). I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING MY 2 YEAR OLD, 7 YEAR OLD, OR WIFE IN A VERY EXPENSIVE VEHICLE WHILE HAVING TO WORRY IF THE TRUCK WILL CAUSE A WRECK DUE TO A FACTORY DEFECT.

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF "DEATH WOBBLE"...... VEHICLE ONLY HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT..... HAVE DONE RESEARCH. SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A SAFETY BULLETIN OUT. FORD TOLD ME THE PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER FOR FIX.....PEOPLE ONLINE SAYING EVEN AFTER FORD FIX STILL NOT FIXED. I DONT FEEL SAFE LETTING ANYONE ELSE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE....OR ME DRIVING IT ABOVE 50 MPH. SO BASICALLY IF YOU HIT A ROAD JOINT FOR A BRIDGE FOR EXAMPLE (WHERE I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN 3 TIMES SO FAR) IT THROWS THE FRONT END INTO A RYTHMATIC VIOLENT SHAKE. YOU HAVE TO SLAM ON YOUR BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 25MPH FOR IT TO GO AWAY. I AM GOOD AT RECOVERING FROM IT NOW..... BUT I ALMOST SMASHED INTO THE GUY NEXT TO ME THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED..... IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND FORD HAS NOT BEEN VERY HELPFUL. PLEASE HELP AND MAKE THIS A MORE KNOWN ISSUE. I HAVE READ ALOT OF THE SAME STORIES ONLINE. I HAD NOTHING IN TOW DURING MY OCCURRENCES.

AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC TAIL GATE OPENS RANDOMLY WITHOUT DRIVER SELECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO TAILGATE AND TRAVEL TRAILER. NO INDICATION TAILGATE IS OPEN GIVEN TO DRIVER. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN THE FIRST 100 MILES AFTER PURCHASE, THE FIRST TIME. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT. LAST INCIDENT I HAD JUST PULLED ONTO THE FREEWAY AND WAS FLAGGED DOWN BY A PASSING TRUCKER WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 65MPH THAT MY TAILGATE HAD OPENED. IMAGINE IF SOMETHING HAD FALLEN OUT OF THE BED OF MY TRUCK AND CAUSED ANOTHER MOTORIST TO CRASH. I HAD HEARD A CREAKING SOUND WHILE TURNING ONTO A ROADWAY WITH MY AIRSTREAM TRAVEL TRAILER ATTACHED. THE TAILGATE HAD CRUNCHED AGAINST THE PROPANE BOTTLES CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE, THE PROPANE BOTTLES, AND THE COVER. THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES IN OTHER INSTANCES BUT THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE UNTIL THIS LAST EVENT WHILE TOWING MY AIRSTREAM TRAVEL TRAILER. I CONTACTED FORD DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IN AUSTIN; THEY SUBMITTED TO FORD AND FORD SAID THEY WOULD PAY PART OF THE BILL, BUT I AM ON THE HOOK TO PAY ALSO. THIS IS A FORD WIRING HARNESS ISSUE. SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED SAME ISSUE. FORD SHOULD FIX THIS 100% BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS FROM ITEMS FALLING OUT OF THE BACK OF THE TRUCK WHEN BED OPENS AUTOMATICALLY.

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN I45 AT 70MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTED TO WOBBLE REALLY BAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO WOBBLE BAD ALSO. IT WAS HARD TO HOLD ON TOO. I SLOWED DOWN AND GOT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE , AT ABOUT 30 MPH IT QUIT WOBBLING AND I PROCEEDED ON. SOON AFTER I WAS GOING ABOUT 65 MPH AND IT STARTED WOBBLING AGAIN. I SLOWED DOWN AS I DID BEFORE AND IT STOPPED WOBBLING AGAIN AROUND 30MPH. I PARKED WHEN I GOT HOME. I WENT TO WORK THE NEXT DAY AND IT STARTED WOBBLING AGAIN. EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, IT WOBBLES NOW. I HAVE CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WILL BE TAKING T IN 6 DAYS FROM TODAY. THEY COULD NOT FIT ME IN UNTIL THEN.

MY FORD F250 HAS A SEVERE "WOBBLE" WHEN HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND DOES NOT STOP UNTIL SLOWING TO ABOUT 35 MPH. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TRAVELING AT ONLY 45 MPH AND AFTER THAT IT HAPPENED AT GREATER SPPEEDS UP TO 70 MPH. AT TIMES, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. IT HAPPENED BETWEEN 15-20 ON MY TRIP BACK TO TEXAS. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO FORD AND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO DESCRIBED IT AS A WOBBLE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS DEFECT, I LEARNED THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE AT LEAST 2011 AND FORD WILL NOT CORRECT THIS AS A WARRANTY PROBLEM EVEN IF YOU'RE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD MY FRONT END WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT TO WHICH I REPLIED " IF IT IS, IT'S BECAUSE OF THE WOBBLE", AND OF COURSE THE MECHANIC SAID THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE, BUT HE WAS NEVER IN THE TRUCK WHEN IT "WOBBLED". I THEN WAS TOLD ABOUT ANOTHER CORRECTION, BUT THE REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE COVERED. SO THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE "WOBBLE" IS TO ADD STEERING/STABILIZER SHOCKS TO THE FRONT END AND PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET EVEN THOUGH IT IS A PROBLEM THAT FORD KNOWS ALL ABOUT. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY NO HELP TELLING ME "AFTER MARKET PARTS", ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY EVEN IF THAT IS WHAT IT TAKES TO REPAIR THE OBVIOUS DEFECT OF THE FORD F250. I HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT FORD WAS ADDING PARTS TO THE VEHICLE, RATHER I THOUGHT THEY WERE MAKING REPAIRS TO THE EXISTING VEHICLE. SO, IT IS OBVIOUS FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HOW TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO TAKE OF THEIR VEHICLES OR THEIR CUSTOMER SAFETY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT WOULD BE EASY TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I AM ASKING YOU TO PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT TURNS DEADLY, AND IT WILL TURN DEADLY.

I RECENTLY PARKED MY TT AT OUR NEW RV CAMPGROUND. WHILE BACKING IT UP THE GATE OPENED RANDOMLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AND DENTED THE TOP OF MY TAILGATE. EXTREMELY UPSET I NEW IT WAS GOING TO BE A HARD CASE TO SUBMIT TO WARRANTY FOR THEM TO BELIEVE THAT IT WASN'T USER ERROR. A FEW DAYS LATER I LEFT WORK AND DROVE 20 MILES DOWN THE HIGHWAY ONLY TO GET TO WHERE I WAS GOING AND GET OUT OF MY TRUCK TO SEE THE TAILGATE DOWN WITH A FULL PROPANE TANK IN THE BACK AN A $1000 WORTH OF FISHING POLES. TODAY I TOOK MY WIFE TO LUNCH AND WHEN WE PARKED AND GOT OUT THE GATE WAS DOWN AGAIN. WE ATE WENT A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD, SHOPPED AND UNLOCKED THE DOORS USING THE FOB AND THE GATE DROPPED. THAT'S TWICE IN ONE DAY. IT WAS GETTING WORSE. SHORTLY AFTER, I GOT A LAST MINUTE CALL TO MOVE MY TT DUE TO RISING WATERS HERE IN BUCHANAN AT THE RV PARK AND WHILE I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE THE GATE OPENED ON ITS OWN WHILE THE DOORS WERE UNLOCKED. SO I GOT OUT MY CAMERA AND CLOSED THE GATE. WITHIN 20 SECONDS IT OPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I VIDEO TAPED IT AND TEXTED THE VIDEO TO MY FORD WARRANTY REP. I RUSHED MY TRUCK TO COVERT FORD AND BY GODS GOOD GRACE THE TAILGATE OPENED REPEATEDLY IN FRONT OF EVERY FORD REP WORKING. I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHAT THEY FIND. MY TRUCK IS A 2017 F250 LARIAT ULTIMATE. I HAVE A VIDEO BUT IT IS 9.63MB. EMAIL ME IF YOU WANT IT.

THE MANUFACTURER HAS DESIGNED A TRAILER HITCH THAT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO USE SAFETY CHAINS WITH. YOU CAN NOT ADEQUATELY ATTACH THE HOOKS LEADING THE POSSIBILITY OF A RUNAWAY TRAILER.
